WATCH: Loop's gift guide to shopping local this Christmas

It's almost Christmas and among all the things we really look forward over the holidays is that one BIG stress we dread - gift shopping.

Here at Loop we don't like the word stress, so we decided to do all the hard work for you and select some of our best picks for under the tree.

And the best part is that our shopping guide is Total Local - so everything featured is made locally here in Jamaica by some of our most wonderful talent.

Loop is a huge fan of shopping local and supporting homegrown business and we are honoured to have partnered with some of the island's most unique brands for this, our debut Total Local Christmas shopping guide.

From the good enough to eat Morgan's Creek brand to the dreamy Laura and Alexis candles (Bedroom Bully anyone?!), the decadent Braata Box, the quirky range from Those Creative People, the yumminess that is Annilu Mixes and the healthy sweet treats from Ara Foods Jamaica, we really have spoiled you with our selections!
But don't thank us! We're just proud to showcase these unique Jamaican brands and celebrate the beauty of what it truly means to shop local.

We hope you enjoyed and please click on any of the brands to shop their wares and order in time for Christmas.

And thank you the wonderful brands who partnered with us! Happy holidays!
